Day 11: Role. Task. Format.
from AI Once a Day · host Ivy at AI Once a Day
Hey, Ivy here. If an AI answer feels vague, the prompt may be the problem. Try this simple structure: Role. Task. Format. Role tells the model who to be. Task tells it what to do. Format tells it how to hand the answer back. For example: You're a skeptical editor. Review this draft for clarity. Give me five bullet points and rewrite the worst paragraph. That is usually enough to make the result sharper. Don't make the prompt longer. Make the request easier to follow.
